Walden, and On The Duty Of Civil Disobedience — Page 13

English → Korean Full Text Level 8/10

The incessant anxiety and strain of some is a well nigh incurable form of disease.

일부 사람들의 끊임없는 불안과 긴장은 거의 치유 불가능한 형태의 질병이다.

We are made to exaggerate the importance of what work we do; and yet how much is not done by us!

우리는 우리가 하는 일의 중요성을 과장하도록 만들어져 있다. 그러나 우리가 하지 않는 일은 또 얼마나 많은가!

or, what if we had been taken sick?

아니면, 우리가 병에 걸렸다면 어떻게 되었을까?

How vigilant we are!

우리는 얼마나 경계를 늦추지 않는가!

determined not to live by faith if we can avoid it; all the day long on the alert, at night we unwillingly say our prayers and commit ourselves to uncertainties.

할 수만 있다면 믿음으로 살지 않겠다고 결심한 채, 온종일 긴장을 늦추지 않고, 밤에는 마지못해 기도를 올리며 불확실한 것들에 우리 자신을 맡긴다.

So thoroughly and sincerely are we compelled to live, reverencing our life, and denying the possibility of change.

우리는 너무나 철저하고 진지하게 삶을 살아가도록 강요받으며, 우리의 삶을 경외하고 변화의 가능성을 부정한다.

This is the only way, we say; but there are as many ways as there can be drawn radii from one centre.

이것이 유일한 길이라고 우리는 말한다. 그러나 하나의 중심에서 그을 수 있는 반지름의 수만큼 많은 길이 존재한다.

All change is a miracle to contemplate; but it is a miracle which is taking place every instant.

모든 변화는 묵상하기에 하나의 기적이다. 그러나 그것은 매 순간 일어나고 있는 기적이다.

Confucius said, "To know that we know what we know, and that we do not know what we do not know, that is true knowledge."

공자는 말했다. "우리가 아는 것을 안다는 것을 알고, 우리가 모르는 것을 모른다는 것을 아는 것, 그것이 진정한 앎이다."

When one man has reduced a fact of the imagination to be a fact to his understanding, I foresee that all men at length establish their lives on that basis.

한 사람이 상상 속의 사실을 자신의 이해의 사실로 환원시켰을 때, 나는 결국 모든 사람이 그 토대 위에 자신의 삶을 세우게 될 것임을 예견한다.

Let us consider for a moment what most of the trouble and anxiety which I have referred to is about, and how much it is necessary that we be troubled, or, at least, careful.

내가 언급한 대부분의 걱정과 불안이 무엇에 관한 것인지, 그리고 우리가 괴로워하거나, 적어도 신중해야 하는 것이 얼마나 필요한 일인지 잠시 생각해 보자.
